Can you tell what it's doing when the "takeslong time" part happens?

A common cause of apparently slow networkconnections is a DNS problem. Many serverprograms (like, say, sshd) try to do a(reverse) address-to-name look-up on theclient's IP address. If that fails (slowly),then the connection appears to be slow. Totest this, on the server system ("host123"?),do: nslookup and see if that's slow.

Re: SSH taking long time

Hi,

If an SSH connection seems slow to establish, usually it boils down to name resolution. Check with the dig/host command if the name service responds in time. I suspect this is either a name resolution problem or a routing problem. Either way, it must be on the newly installed server and not on the other parts (network interfaces, remote side), if they weren't changed.
